Dealers: Take Advantage of Free Registrations & Room Nights at 2023 Show

By Meghan Ryan, NATM Assistant Director

The National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM) is excited to welcome trailer dealers back to the 2023 NATM Convention & Trade Show in Fort Worth, Texas Feb. 1416, 2023. For the second year, NATM is offering the “New Attendee Promotion” to offset costs for dealers attending the show.

To apply for the New AttendeePromotion, contact Catie Rutkowksi at Catie.Rutkowski@natm.com or (785) 272-4433.

NATM has been committed to trailer safety for more than 30 years. While NATM has long worked with trailer manufacturers, industry suppliers, and service providers, trailer safety can only be improved through dealer interaction and consumer education. Expanding the Association’s base to include dealer affiliates and inviting dealers to attend the annual Convention & Trade Show is the logical next step in improving trailer safety.

The NATM Convention & Trade Show is the annual trade show for the light- and medium-duty trailer industry. With more than 1,000 trailer manufacturer and supplier attendees per year and growing, this "must attend" event provides education, and networking for those in the industry. The 2022 sold-out trade show boasted 231 booths, which gave attendees a variety of products and services to view.

The Association’s purpose is to have open lines of communication, increase trailer safety awareness, and provide dealers with the education and information they have long requested from NATM. NATM has worked diligently with committees, trailer manufacturers, industry suppliers, and dealers to create a path of inclusion for dealers.

New in 2023, dealers are welcome during all hours of the trade show to shop for components, materials, and service providers. There will be no trailers on exhibit. Dealers will be invited to attend all regular workshops and technical forums, as well as the Awards Reception on Tuesday. Please note: Dealers are not able to attend the Tee Off Convention Top Gold event or PAC Reception.

Online registration will open mid-September. NATM looks forward to seeing you in Fort Worth, Texas! For more information about the Convention & Trade Show or the NATM Dealer Affiliate program, contact NATM Assistant Director Meghan Ryan at Meghan.Ryan@natm.com or (785) 272-4433. ■
